Five Louisiana residents and four Houston residents were arrested in a DEA drug bust that resulted in the seizure of cocaine, Ecstasy, marijuana and firearms, authorities said.

The busts occurred after Willie Lee White, Jr., 53, of Houston, was stopped Thursday after he left a home near Slidell, La., a New Orleans suburb in St. Tammany Parish, with $50,000 on him, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration release.

After a search of the home, 50 kilograms of cocaine, 3,500 tablets of Ecstasy and five pounds of marijuana were discovered. Authorities also found $60,000 and a cache of weapons, including pistols and a revolver.

"This is the largest cocaine seizure effected by law enforcement authorities since Hurricane Katrina and is the single largest seizure of cocaine destined for local distribution in the history of St. Tammany Parish," stated William J. Renton Jr., special agent in charge of the DEA field office in New Orleans.
